To install, fit the cover onto the base by pressing it with care to fully secure the transmitter, as shown in the figure below:
The humidity sensor’s calibration can be altered if it is exposed to contaminating vapors or extreme humidity and temperature conditions for
prolonged periods. To speed up calibration restore, proceed as described below:
• Carefully remove the sensor from the capsule, avoiding contact with bare hands (it must be removed with the use of plastic tweezers or clean
antistatic gloves);
• If there are solid particles on the sensor, wash it with deionized water at room temperature;
• Place the sensor in an oven at 120 °C (+/-10 °C) for 6 hours;
• Carefully replace the sensor in the capsule.
It is also possible to clean or dry the sensor using filtered and oil-free air, taking care that the air jets do not mechanically damage the sensor.
• Step 1: Disconnect the transmitter from the power supply and remove the USB cable if it is connected.
Locate the sensor's protective tip.
This example shows the sensor replacement of an RHT Climate DM Transmitter. In it, the sensor is
located at the end of the rod.
• Step 3: Without the tip the sensor will be exposed. Remove it by pulling it forward to disconnect it.
• Step 4: Connect the new sensor to the rod tip connector with the aid of plastic tweezers or clean antistatic
gloves, avoiding pushing or engaging the sensor by hand only.
Hold the sensor only by its terminals, using plastic tweezers or new gloves.
Do not hold the sensor by the sensor element. Do not use metal tweezers. Do
not touch the sensor without wearing gloves.
• Step 5: Place the protection tip again and turn it clockwise to secure it to the device.

The RHT Climate Transmitter allows for four timing options for its alarm outputs and for the buzzer:
• Normal operation;
• Activation for set time;
• Delay in activation;
• Intermittent activation.
The figures in Table 4 show the behavior of alarm outputs with these activation variations defined by the T0n and T0ff time intervals.

The Initial Blocking option prevents alarm activation if there is an alarm condition when the controller is turned on. The alarm is only enabled after
the process passes through a non-alarm condition.
The initial block is useful, for example, when one of the alarms is configured as minimum value alarm, potentially setting off the alarm right when
the process is started up, which is often undesirable behavior.
Initial blocking is not valid for the Sensor Open function.

The USB interface IS NOT ISOLATED from the retransmission outputs and alarm
outputs. Its purpose is temporary use during CONFIGURATION and
MONITORING periods. For the safety of people and device, it should only be
used with the device fully disconnected from the external power supply inlet. USB
use in any other connection condition is possible, but it requires careful analysis
by the person in charge of installation. For MONITORING for long periods and
with inputs and outputs connected, use of the RS485 interface is recommended,
available or optional in most of our devices.

In the Pressure field, the RHT Climate Transmitter allows for configuring atmospheric pressure. The device come factory configured with a
pressure valor equal to atmospheric pressure at sea level. The values of psychrometric properties calculated by the RHT Climate Transmitter may
undergo variations due to pressure. In locations with high altitude or in pressurized environments, you need to adjust the value of this parameter so
that the RHT Climate Transmitter uses it in its offset algorithms.
For the temperature and relative humidity reading, the device provides Offset and Filter settings. With these features, minor corrections can be
made to the sensor readings, and the sensor’s response speed can be reduced.
To obtain higher precision from the sensor, the device offers the Custom Calibration feature, which lets you insert up to five temperature points
and five points for relative humidity. To make this adjustment, click on to access the custom calibration window. For further
details about this feature, refer to the NXperience manual at www.novusautomation.com.
By clicking on the icon , you can configure the transmission analog outputs, the alarm outputs and the buzzer.
Fig. 34 – Output 1
In the Measurement field, the psychrometric property to be transmitted by the analog output can be selected. The analog output Mode allows for
selecting the electrical standard to be used for transmission: 0-10 V or 4-20 mA. The electrical signal from the output will be proportional to the
selected variable, abiding by the values configured for Lower Limit and Upper Limit.
In case of sensor failure, the variable to be transmitted by the analog output will go into Error Mode. For this error condition, you can select High or
Low status.
Error mode
Mode Low High
0 - 10 V 0V 10 V
4 - 20 mA 3.6 mA 21.0 mA
Table 66 – Error mode
To select the alarm output to be configured, click once on the button for the alarm output and enable it by sliding the enable key
right.
Fig. 35 – Alarm 1
The alarm output may be timed using the Time on and Time off parameters. Depending on the set values, the output may behave in the following ways:
If the device is configured with alarm Lo, xi, L--x or -Lx-, the Error condition parameter allows for configuring the alarm output if the
temperature and relative humidity sensor fails. In this case, the output will be turned on or off according to the value configured in this parameter.
In some applications using the RHT Climate Transmitter, the occurrence of alarms right when turning the device on may need to be disregarded. A
typical example is an application in which an environment needs to be kept cool. Supposing that the alarm is configured to go off when
temperatures is lower than -10 °C or higher than 2 °C, if the initial environment temperature is 25 °C when the RHT Climate Transmitter is turned
on, the alarm will be activated. To inhibit this initial activity, you can enable Initial alarm blocking. With initial blocking enabled, the device will need
to reach a non-alarm condition for an alarm event to activate the output.
The buzzer* activation can be linked to each alarm output. As such, whenever the alarm output is turned on, the buzzer will be activated, abiding by
the buzzer timing configurations. To link the buzzer to the alarm output, the Buzzer parameter must be enabled.
*The buzzer can only be linked to an alarm output in LCD models.
To select the buzzer configurations, click once on the button and enable it by sliding the enable key right.

By clicking on the icon , you can configure some features of the display and keyboard of the device. These features are available for the
LCD models.
The device keys and , in addition to the increase, decrease, and option selection functions, may have a second function that adds more
versatility to the device. The figure below shows the configuration interface for this feature in NXperience.
Fig. 39 – Keyboard
For the key , the second function can be selected among these options:
• None;
• Blocks buzzer;
• Blocks buzzer and alarm output.
If the second function of the key is configured to suppress the buzzer, and if this key is pressed and held during an alarm, the buzzer will be
muted but the alarm output will be remain enabled.
If the second function of the key is configured to suppress the buzzer and the alarm output, and if this key is pressed and held during an
alarm, the buzzer will be muted and the alarm output will be turned off. The buzzer and the alarm output will only be reactivated if the RHT Climate
Transmitter goes into a non-alarm condition and returns to an alarm condition.
Fig. 40 – Display
For this device, the Backlight operating mode can be selected, which operates as follows:
• Off: The display backlight is always off;
• On: The display backlight is always on;
• On for a time: The display backlight always comes on when a key is pressed. If no key is pressed for 15 seconds, the backlight will
turn off automatically.
The RHT Climate Transmitter display allows for setting five contrast levels that favor viewing of display information from different viewing angles.
To select the best angle, click on the desired angle value.
It is also possible to configure the information to be displayed on the third line of the display, as shown in the 3RD Line Information parameter:
• Off: The third line will not display any information.
• Dew Point: The third line will display the current value of the dew point.
• Absolute Humidity: The third line will display the current value of the absolute humidity.
• Frost Point: The third line will display the current value of the frost point.
• Specific Enthalpy: The third line will display the current value of the specific enthalpy.
• Partial Vapor Pressure: The third line will display the current value of the partial vapor pressure.
• Mixture Ratio: The third line will display the current value of the mixture ratio.
By clicking on the icon , the software will display the screen below and you can send the configuration to the device, save the
configurations in a file, update the device firmware, and configure a password to protect the device.
In the example shown on the screen below, the value of 18 °C is being forced in the temperature field, while the relative humidity value is being
read directly from the sensor. The other psychrometric properties are calculated by the RHT Climate Transmitter based on these values. Note that
the button that was used for forcing temperature changed to .
To force a value at a transmission analog output use the slider or type the desired value directly into the edit field and then press the button .
As of this time, the RHT Climate Transmitter will be forcing the set value at the transmission output. Note that the button that was used for forcing
changed to .
If you press the key again, the forced value is no longer applied to the output. In the example on the screen below, the 10.0 mA value is being forced at
analog output 1.
Fig. 45 – Output 1
For each analog output, transmission of an error value can also be forced via buttons and . These values depend on the mode (0-10 V
or 4-20 mA) configured for each output.
Alarm and buzzer outputs allow for forcing the on and off condition. As the alarm output can be activated due to an alarm condition in some cases,
it may be desirable to force the off status so that you can identify a possible failure in the device’s electrical installation or configuration.
The images below show the interface for forcing alarm output 1 in the three possible conditions: Without forcing, forcing in on state, and forcing in
off state.
